>When Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanded the urgent demolition of her agency’s 171-year-old campus in Washington, D.C., she claimed the structures were unsafe. But it turns out the more immediate threat to workers wasn’t the presence of “malicious insiders” looking to exploit the site’s weaknesses—it’s asbestos, Migrant Insider reported Tuesday.
>Department of Homeland Security employees who worked at the agency’s facilities at St. Elizabeths described workers in full hazmat suits working alongside plainclothes DHS staff.
>“It’s surreal,” one former DHS aide told Migrant Insider. “You’ve got guys in full PPE taking out asbestos, and then DHS staff in shirts and ties walking right by, breathing the same air.”

Deadly poison for poisonous ghouls. This is called reaping what you sow. That’s the toll you pay for working for murderers who don’t value human life.
Yeah, you should absolutely not be working in this building. Take a hazwoper class. Maybe you do not care about yourself, but asbestos clings to your clothes and you bring it home to your pets and kids.
I can’t get over what she has done to her face. This is a mentally ill person in charge of national security.
It’s like every Trump appointee is basically maliciously incompetent.
„Thank you for your ~~Service~~ Cancer“
Handling hazmat like asbestos safely is woke shit obviously
I never wanted to high-five asbestos before…
Yay something else the American Taxpayer will be paying out lawsuits for in the future…. mesothelioma lawsuits from this. /s
The building was originally built as a government Hospital for the insane. Why is she ripping it down that’s exactly where she belongs.
I didn’t know DHS was housed in a former insane asylum, but it somehow makes sense.
Who had asbestos poisoning on their 2026 bingo card? This shit is ridic
I know that people treat this as comical incompetence, but these kinds of actions harm future generations. When the labor unions start filing complaints, when workers health and safety investigations start and claims for medical treatment, this all adds to the deficit. They keep destroying things without taking the time to follow the laws on the books so that future generations aren’t burdened with the fallout of their impulsive actions.
Gee, regulations for proper demolition could have seen this coming. But who needs regulations?
A miasma of toxic energy follows that witch wherever she goes.
When you give actual power to a person whose natural ceiling would be managing an Arby’s in a declining shopping mall…
You mean clean, beautiful asbestos? Well thank goodness that got released into the air. Can’t be a good god-fearing American without a bunch of cancer.
when you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s not your fault
important thing… was SHE there during this?
You can’t be serious. They would have told her it wouldn’t be safe for those people to keep working there.
The irony of a department formed after 9/11 doing this is something else.
Remember MAGA, masks will suffocate you and Fauci wanted you to wear it. Don’t tread on me Fauci!
Putting an end to the radical left’s ridiculous war on mesothelioma.
The same is probably true of the East Wing of the White House. The original East Wing was built in 1902 and renovated in 1942, so odds are it was packed with asbestos. I don’t recall seeing anyone in hazmat suits or any mitigation tents while it was being demolished, so all that shit went went right into the air.
I just happened to run across a Veritasium video about asbestos last night, seems relevant: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMx139eTxoc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMx139eTxoc)
This is nasty shit. It can easily become airborne, does not degrade because it’s a mineral, and pieces tinier than hairs can get into your lungs then travel to any part of your body. Asbestos fibers have been found in every major organ after autopsies of people who were exposed.
The trump administration’s notice to the workers:
You are expendable, replaceable and if you get sick there are plenty of mesothelioma lawyers to get your family money to bury you.
Submit an OSHA complaint ASAP!!
She’s a good representation of how conservatives think in SD. Source: I live there.
The people who silently suffered under her for years when she was governor must be feeling so vindicated right now.
Clots and cancer
Great timing on that veritaserum video.
They used to put asbestos in cigarette filters… it can’t possibly be **THAT** bad!
/s
Once Trump is out of office, every single one of these buildings is going to be searched for bugs, I’m not talking about insecticide, I’m talking about electronic bugs.
…they were the asbest-of us. RIP.
When the dhs employees sue. The taxpayers pay the tab again.

This is by design.

If Kristi Noem has given you or your loved one mesothelioma, you may be entitled to 50k compensation.
OSHA literally showed up to my work after someone complained that the plastic wasn’t fully sealed in an area contractors were performing asbestos abatement. Unreal.
The EPA says that’s ok.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Historically, the class of people like Noem, Bondi and Hegseth are the ones that actually face the consequences. Trump as actually smart this time and filled his cabinet with a bunch of low iq, maliciously incompetent sycophants. They will do his bidding until the bitter end and just keep adding to their rap sheets.
That’s the only thing that helps me sleep at night.
oh no, anyways
What a stupid bitch…
This demolition needs to be halted. Both OSHA and EPA strictly regulate asbestos exposure – to BOTH the workers AND the surrounding community.
Hopefully, *someone* called the appropriate authorities.
My job is doing asbestos abatement oversight. What a bunch of stupid clowns
How did they even find a demolition company who was willing to skip due diligence on this. Asbestos abatement is like a top line item for every gov contract I’ve seen, which is a lot over 10 years.
Which cancer is worse, the DHS or the mesothelioma? Either way, I’m happy they found each other.
